Daveo72 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Hi guys, looking to start a save. Don't know whether to try Australia/New Zealand, USA or China/Japan. Any suggestions? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurf Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Brazil is very unforgiving! It's like it never stops. From my memory, there's about 1 or 2 weeks between league tournaments! It's hectic schedule and a lot of fun, so many games, so you can keep a large squad happy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwest227 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Haven't played them on this year's version yet as I'm enjoying a save started in LLM in England. That said, I always enjoy the MLS. If you can get your head around the draft, salary caps and player restrictions then can be great fun and challenging. I also started a save in China when I was completing the pentagon challenge last year and that was fun too. Something like 3 Foreign players allowed in your squad if I remember correctly which presented a challenge to find the better Chinese talents. I don't know whether this will have changed for this year's game at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAzza332 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Something similar in the A-League as well. You can only have 5 foreign players but after a couple of seasons it switched to 4. Salary Cap of 2.55M per year. But you are allowed 2 Marquee players who are exempt from salary cap. There are also 3 Home grown player contacts, which give you an extra 200K breathing space. On top of that you are only allowed to register 23 full-contract players, 3 of which must be under 20. But you are allowed to use as many Youth Contacted players as you like - so you keep an eye on your Youth Players who need to cover any holes. It is incredibly difficult to sell players, and historically very difficult to dominate the league. Also it is not a financially viable league. Clubs are always in debt, and I'm now facing my second take-over in less than a year. When that happens, you get a transfer budget of $0 and you can't afford to release players on a free, but yet sometimes you don't have many other choices as you need to keep squad registration to 23 players (as soon as your youth players are over 20, you have difficult decisions to make). The big money comes from Asian Champions League - which takes place over course of 2 seasons. To qualify you usually need to aim for top 3 finish in the league. It's a wonderful mental challenge trying to juggle everything and remain successful. You need to give a lot of thought to your backroom staff. But I've thoroughly enjoyed the A-League. On other football games I get bored after 1 season. But here I'm now planning on extending my contact to the end of my 5th year in A-League! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameuss Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I found Australia very frustrating in terms of grabbing the ACL. I was doing a save where I had to get all the Champions League titles, and the way the Australian league is built up it's not made the easiest to achieve. Especially with the scheduling - makes it seem like you have absolutely ages to wait if you don't win it one season. Domestically it's like a less mental MLS. If you don't like limiting squad rules then steer clear. If you like leagues that aren't necessarily a boring 38 game "let's-play-each-other-twice-lads" slog, then it's not bad.
